Driving test safety precautions

ALPENA, Mich. — In March driving schools in Michigan had to close their facilities because of the COVID–19 pandemic.

According to Stroia School of Driving Instructor, Timothy Witman, since May its been difficult keeping up with their scheduling because of the backlog.

Stroia implemented precautions which entailed wearing masks and also sanitizing their own vehicles but one test taker who preferred to test in his own van had other concerns.

Witman said he takes other safety measures when riding in a personal vehicle.

He also said while the backlog is keeping them very busy, he enjoys what he does and feels safe.

The enjoyable part for the test taker is when they pass.
